This episode's guest is one of the most exciting names in competitive grappling right now—Max Hanson. A Canadian BJJ Black Belt under Dante Leon, Max represents Pedigo Submission Fighting and is currently considered one of the top 170 lbs. grapplers in the world. His resume includes major titles at IBJJF No-Gi Pans, No-Gi American Nationals, The Enigma Invitational, The Sapateiro Invitational, Midwest Finishers, and more.

In this episode, Max opens up about preparing for CJI 2 and shares insight into what it’s like to train under the unique coaching of both Dante Leon and Heath Pedigo—two titans with very different yet complementary approaches to the game.

We delve into Max’s perspective on techniques, navigating rule sets, and how to approach drilling effectively. Max is not only an elite athlete but also a brilliant communicator—his Instagram breakdowns and Patreon are quickly becoming must-follows for anyone looking to level up their nogi game.
